#searchable — Public Fediverse posts

Today I'm running Madness on Geneva Lake, a #CoC adventure to celebrate the 50th anniversary of #Chaosium (founded 31 October 1975).

There are some editorial problems with the book. In particular, the stats for Dr. King are missing.

In the past, I would have searched #forums for errata or to see if other players had filled in the blanks. But today all such discussions take place in #walledgardens like #Discord which are not #indexed or #searchable.

I guess I'll just wing it.

@mickwest
Mastodon by default unfortunately only supports searching via hashtags. You can't search via content in posts unless they type a specific hashtag.

There are exceptions though...

The https://universeodon.com instance has implemented a custom feature for searching text in posts. I'm hoping this gets adopted by more instances! It makes finding like minded and interesting discussions that much better.

Trying there might help you find skeptics and ufo related discussions that way 😉

@ollien @evan @astrocow Sure, that's a part of it, though I believe that's a practical limitation of decentralization, not intentional design. But we're talking more about a behavioral choice. For example:

There's a big difference between letting people find your post like this.
#searchable

Versus #acting #like you're on #Instagram with a #checkerboard of #hashtags, which is just a #tactic to #chase #exposure. #cloutchaser #thirsty #useall500chars

@richvn Given the content filters & warnings that are a core part of the #fediverse experience, why not have an opt-in free text #search? ie we build a system where profiles, posts/toots can be opted in to be #indexed and fully #searchable. Would need wider community support (eg from @Gargron & others) but this would be v useful while avoiding controversy #fedsearch.io

I’ve of course forgotten to say I’m a huge fan of #openaccess and always interested in finding new ways to make #science more #searchable #shareable and #accessible
